Drive down I-10 and the distance between Houston, TX and Lafayette, LA can be covered in roughly three hours. Despite the close proximity between the programs, the Houston Cougars and Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns have not played since 2006.
That drought is set to end on Friday, Dec. 23 when the Cougars and Cajuns square off in the 2022 Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl in Shreveport, LA. The matchup was first confirmed by The Action Network breaking news reporter Brett McMurphy on Sunday afternoon.
Houston (7-5, 5-3 AAC) is bowling for the third-straight year under fourth-year head coach Dana Holgorsen.
